***BE AWARE OF TAX REFUND TIE-UP*** YOUR MONEY WILL NEVER GO BACK WHEN SHOPPING IN THAILAND. My husband bought a ring to propose me in Thailand. Because the tax refund amount of money is over $1000 they ask us to choose the bank transfer cash back. 2 years from then, after so many calls, they have so many reasons to hold back the moneys like: it s on my boss table, it s going to be back soon, it s on bank transfer blablabla but then the final call i made after 2 YEARS after so many line transferring they said now it s depends on “the boss”s decision and “the boss is too busy”. I guess I am only one in million tourists and just 5% of this tax-refund tie-up each years, guess how much profit the tax refund office can make. BE AWARE OF SHOPPING IN THAILAND!!! You might never get the money back like me. Thailand tax office takes life times to ever think of pay your tax refund money back!
